solidFRAME v1.0b released
« on: December 01, 2012, 08:27:39 am »
A few days ago, tr1p1ea (you know, the guy that created xLIB) released solidFrame-- a 3D model viewer. It can take Wavefront OBJ files (converted, of course) and allow you to rotate and explore objects. And these aren't simple wireframe models, either, but instead these are textured models. Here are a few pieces of candy for your enjoyment:




Go ahead and give it a try! (A 15MHz calculator is suggested, by the way, but it will work on a 6MHz calc)

Awesome work!

I am wondering if it would be possible to have models played real-time in games if it were to be ported to nspire, but I doubt it

That is really great. I was amazed at how many details there was in that Zelda and Mario model actually. As for the Nspire, if that engine was ported to it without adding any extra details, I think it would definitively be useable in games if maps were not made of blocks like in nCraft but rather like nDoom or something. There would definitively need to be some sort of limit about how far you can view stuff, though, to avoid major slowdowns.

I'm trying to make a model, but I don't know how to change the number of vertices and faces. Does anyone know how?

I've no clue, are you using a computer utility or is it on calc?

Do you mean something as simple as the subdivision surface modifier?

Subdivide or extrude in edit mode.

Thanks guys :).

Spenceboy98: Do you need help making some stuff in Blender? Are you trying to add or subtract vertices/faces?

You can use the 'Decimate' modifier to reduce faces/vertices of a mesh?

Tr1p1ea, have you tried to create a moderate-sized map (such as a small village)to see how fast it renders?

Not as yet, i have my sights on finishing the polygon clipping code before attempting that. Technically i have a demo with 9 cubes in 3D space where you can fly around and such (at around 17-20fps) which almost fits the part. They are a reasonable distance apart however so the speed comes from LOD techniques. Ill see what i can do in the short-term.

Oh I see, there's no clipping yet (assuming that's what you mean by finishing?).
